For those interested in starting or continuing their college education while stationed on Cape Cod, the Base Cape Cod Training and Education office has much to offer both active duty members and their spouses. One officer and one full time civilian Educated Services Officer are assigned to Training and Education, and they operate a full DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-traditional Educational Support) Education Center. Services available include testing, counseling, and educational referrals/liaison with local colleges.

Testing services available include the full spectrum of DANTES-sponsored testing programs.
This includes credit-by-examination tests such as CLEP and DSST, as well as national admissions testing programs such as SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT. All testing programs are currently free-of-charge for USCG active duty members and their spouses (subject to some restrictions).

For those interested in traditional, classroom-based college courses, there are several options available to the Cape Cod resident. The nearest college is Cape Cod Community College (CCCC) located approximately 30 minutes from the base in Hyannis. CCCC is a 2- year school offering associate's degrees in business, liberal arts, and sciences.
